Bilney Busts Out

Not today
Not today
Within a few minutes of the legend, "Shuffle up and deal!" ringing across the floor, Sarah Bilney was spotted making an angry exit -- apparently her aces had fallen victim to pocket threes, which hit a gutshot on the turn when all the money went in.

Small But Perfectly Formed

Good morning, and welcome back to the Amazon Room, slightly less seething today than it has been of late. So far we have a rather bijou field for today's event, a mere 462 runners registered so far, although that number should increase slightly before the break. In fact, the field is so compact today that the tables in the orange section were suddenly and unexpectedly closed a few minutes before players were admitted, and we are now confined to a single section of the room.

A Simmering Friday of Pot-Limit Hold'em

Friday is Pot-Limit Hold'em Day at the Rio, as Event #38, $2,000 PLHE, gets underway. It'll be a relatively quiet day at the Rio, in contrast to the big-field events this weekend.

Greg Hopkins won this event a year ago, topping a 599-player field to win $269,274; similar numbers should be here for the noon start today.
